Oscar Nominees: Best Actor in a Leading Role

My predictions: 5/5
My ballot: 4/5
The nominees: Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart), George Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man), Morgan Freeman (Invictus), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker)

No surprises here, as SAG’s five picks make the cut here, and easily the most solid Best Actor lineup in a number of years. I’m very happy.

My current bet to win: Bridges
